Things that photographer's Hate....
The big one for me is when everything is set up, time is put aside, looking forward to the shoot only to have the model do a no call/no show. And then hours later, the model states that she "forgot and the phone was on silent." Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure, lady, when you are the type of person that lives for her phone 24/7. OK, fellow photographers, what do you hate in this business? Mar 11 13 08:00 am Link When a model says, especially in her MM profile, she doesn't do nudes because she wants to only do "classy" and/or "quality" photography. I'm fine with not doing nudes, but I take mild offense to the "classy" term.  Mar 11 13 08:04 am Link Getting no feedback from models after I have sent them shoot preview links. I put my heart, soul, and most of my spare time into this, and it's a major letdown when models seem to not care. Mar 11 13 08:48 am Link • models that lie about measurements • models who refuse to provide an unedited pic (because hey why would someone need 1 of these to actually judge whatt some looks like!) • list themselves as "very experienced" after shooting half a dozen shoots • models who only seek pay yet portfolio looks horrendous • models who just stand there • models who show up late • models who expects you to photoshop shots like other photographers work ("can you make it look like this? thanks!"... "Nope. Did you check out my work before u agreed to shoot? thanks") • models that think they're Retoucher (no permission) • models who think they're Art Directors... basically 90% of mm But i respect and appreciate models that know and love their job! Mar 11 13 08:58 am Link Biggest pet peeve, is when a model retouches my photo, without asking me and does a horrible job of it. Explanation - it was fun and I like it that way (gaussian blur and overexposed skin like casper the friendly ghost). Response - take my name off of it, take my watermark off of it and credit yourself. haha Mar 11 13 08:58 am Link When I see a brand new model with six out of focus, incorrectly exposed and uninterestingly posed photographs, asked to do trade ( in the Subject ) and get back "what would it be paying i have hundreds of photos so i dont need any more really x" Mar 11 13 09:05 am Link Marin Photography wrote: Too true! Mar 11 13 09:07 am Link On a TFP shoot. The subject requests a bunch of edits...and then never seems to use any of them. Mar 11 13 09:15 am Link Models that want to get paid and also expect you to give them all the images at the conclusion of the shoot. Mar 11 13 09:21 am Link Not hates, really, but I do get annoyed sometimes when: People respond in the forums with spiteful or nonresponsive comments to reasonable questions. Models commit to "X" and then, after I've arranged the studio and my time for X, say "Oh, I've changed my mind. Let's do Y instead." Photographers that routinely bash models. (Moderation in all things, you know.) And as others have said equating nudity with porn. Mar 11 13 09:24 am Link Life and happiness They hate life and happiness Oh and proper spelling. They hate that shit too Mar 11 13 09:26 am Link "Message Read" Mar 11 13 09:34 am Link sci wrote: And no response. Mar 11 13 09:39 am Link BlueMoonPics wrote: Yes, that's worse! Mar 11 13 09:48 am Link *On their MM profile, I hate(maybe hate is too strong a word for some, let's say it 'drives me crazy' instead) when models put their age as 100 years old and they list all their sizes as ~0~....I need to know your cup size, etc. so I know if you will fit into the clothing I am going to be using for our potential shoot, don't make me guess..!! *Don't answer a casting call asking me all the same questions that were answered in the listing, it let's me know you didn't read the casting, which let's me know you don't have attention to detail...also...if your profile and/or email to me is full of sloppy writing or words too abbreviated or misspelled, again...it makes me wonder what else you don't care about,(when I think about us shooting together), which makes me go on to the next girl.~ Mar 11 13 09:59 am Link I hate people who act like selfish children. I also hate brussel sprouts edit: and "models" who constantly talk about religion on model/photography sites. Mar 11 13 10:05 am Link DougBPhoto wrote: Sprouts are effin' awesome... Mar 11 13 10:19 am Link Having to eat my s'sgetti before I can have dessert, I hate that!  Mar 11 13 10:26 am Link Humility, y'all must be allergic Mar 11 13 10:39 am Link Laura UnBound wrote: I came in here to say the same thing. Mar 11 13 10:46 am Link Is this a new trend! Someone starts a hate thread and then others follow with their own! Mar 11 13 10:54 am Link This thread makes me want to crawl back into my hole and cry Mar 11 13 11:06 am Link When you forward an email to the model and they reply in the third person. Hello this is Model Mayhem who the fudge has a real, not pretend, manager on here. I understand that you would like the notoriety and recognition but earn it don't pretend it.

Mar 11 13 11:08 am Link I hate the product manager who set the pricing for the Canon 5D III. Seems like a great camera but not $1,000 greater than its competitor. Mar 11 13 11:13 am Link i also "hate" people who feel the need to act uppity and judgmental while entering into a thread knowing the subject. ya hate that too let people vent, its natural. if people want to be defense about these comments too bad. instead, for the ones that are unfamiliar with our gripes, listen and you could benefit greatly. problem is most dont listen or learn and these are the people that frustrate us. honesty, its a rarity i suppose.... ps- posting a jpeg as a reasonable response is about as immature as you can get in a thread. irony, its whats for dinner. Mar 11 13 11:13 am Link People hate that people hate that people hate that people.... Its like goddam Inception up in here Mar 11 13 11:14 am Link #1 - Flakes #2 - no reply to emails #3 - see number 1 Mar 11 13 11:19 am Link at the moment I hate Windows 8 Mar 11 13 11:20 am Link SPRINGHEEL wrote:

Mar 11 13 11:34 am Link T A X I wrote: judging by his jpg it looks like he was having spaghetti for dinner. Mar 11 13 11:34 am Link The Space Cowboy wrote: models hate it when they fall on us Mar 11 13 11:35 am Link Inappropriate use of apostrophes. Mar 11 13 11:36 am Link BlueMoonPics wrote: Yes! This is my biggest pet peeve. Then when they write a month or two later, I always try to be professional and kind by responding... only to get it again. Mar 11 13 11:38 am Link I hate it when I can't remember where I put the lens cap. Although it usually turns up in my shirt pocket. Mar 11 13 11:38 am Link i hate crybaby photographers who make other photographers look like Vaginas, looking for validation of other photographers after a model pisses one off.
